TCR global boss supports Bathurst enduro plans

TCR global boss Marcello Lotti would support plans for a standalone international TCR endurance event at Bathurst that could include the WTCR World Touring Car Cup.

A move to bring the growing touring car class to Mount Panorama is gathering momentum with TCR Australia promoters, the Australian Racing Group (ARG) and the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) behind a bid to secure the rights to a fifth event at the famous circuit from 2020 onwards.

BRC had previously forecast August as the time when it would make its final decision.

Mount Panorama currently hosts two Supercars-promoted events in the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 and Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour, and two promoted by Yeehah Events in the Bathurst 6 Hour and Challenge Bathurst.
